CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 71

Emmett slowly stood up and looked at George coldly. "You are old. Don't make a big fuss over these small matters in the future."

The subtext was that George should not interfere in his matters.

George was a smart and wise man. He immediately understood the meaning of his words.

He was so angry that he wanted to throw something, but he forcefully held it back.

Owen walked up to him and poured him a glass of water. "Sir, have a glass of water to calm your anger. Young Master is still young. He will understand your hard work in the future."

George sighed. "I hope so."

Emmett came out of the tea house and took out his phone to call Alyssa.

But on the next second, he took out his phone and put it back.

He was looking forward to how Alyssa would handle this matter.

…

Alyssa was almost late.

She went to the room and sat down. She had a sharp feeling that everyone was looking at her. Furthermore, the way they looked at her was very strange.

Alyssa took out her phone and took a look at her face. There was nothing dirty on her face. It looked very normal!

A female colleague sitting opposite her saw that Alyssa did not know anything and pointed at her phone with good intentions.

Alyssa understood and smiled at her. She then turned on her phone and went online.

She had the habit of reading entertainment news every morning when she woke up. Because she woke up late today, she did not read it.

The headlines of the entertainment section were actually related to her.

She clicked in and saw that it was the picture of her and “Justin” outside the restaurant yesterday.

Alyssa calmed down after her initial surprise.

"Justin" was arrogant and unbridled. It was only a matter of time before he was taken by others.

She did not do anything wrong and was not afraid of others discussing it. But what would happen to the people of Lawrence family if they saw this news?

What if Emmett saw it too?

At this moment, Jason called. "Come to my office." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

When Alyssa went, Jason was the only person in his office. Skylar's face was swollen from the beating yesterday. Naturally, she would not come to work today.

When Jason saw her, he did not have a good expression. "What's the matter with you and Justin?"

Alyssa curled her lips and said in an indifferent tone. "Nothing."

"Nothing. Then what is this?" Jason put his phone in front of her. It was another picture of her and “Justin”.

Alyssa leaned over and put her hands on the desk. Her red lips were slightly hooked. Her bright face looked quite charming. Her tone was slow and leisurely. "You should ask Skylar this question. She took the photo and she should know it best."

On the way to Jason's office, she had thought about it carefully. Other than Skylar who had the guts to take photos and send them to the media, no one else dared to offend the Lawrence family.

Moreover, there were very few people who knew her and "Justin”.

"Alyssa, when did you become so insensible? She suffered so much for you yesterday, and now you still want to accuse her!" Jason stood up in anger.

Alyssa stepped back. A cold glint flashed across her eyes. Her smile became more and more brilliant. "Whether I will help you with what you said yesterday will depend on how you handle this matter."

Jason had asked her to persuade Emmett to invest in the Moore Group yesterday. She was still

hesitating if she should try to find Emmett, but Jason's words made her make up her mind.

Skylar clearly deserved what she did yesterday. But in Jason's mouth, she suffered for Alyssa.

Jason clearly knew that there was a misunderstanding about Alyssa not working. He just pretended nothing had happened. There was no proper apology at all.

Of course, Alyssa would not help Jason.

However, deception was a common tactic in war. Let's see who has the upper hand and laugh till the end!

Even if they had the same blood flowing in their bodies, once there was no emotional bond between them, they would no longer need to be careful and leave room for each other.

The entire day, Alyssa would hear people discussing this matter wherever she went.

But she did not care about it at all. Those people did not dare to ask her even if they wanted to.

When she got off work, the medicinal topic of her and "Justin" on the Internet had already been removed. However, there were still a lot of people discussing on various forums and Tieba boards.

Hazel also called her.

"The next time you go to trending search, can you bring me along too? I feel that with your degree of appearance and popularity, you can debut after going to trending search a few more times."

Alyssa didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. "Do you think I am willing to use the trending search?"

Hazel suddenly said seriously, "To be honest, I saw that photo. Although a large group of people said that the photo was taken by someone who deliberately chose the angle to take it. The content of the photo was not real. But I took so many scenes and I could tell at a glance that the photo was real! I had long thought that the man called “Justin” liked you. Are you guys really together?”

"No, nothing!" Alyssa quickly refuted, "Hurry up and finish filming and come back. I have to get off work first. Goodbye."

After hanging up, Alyssa let out a sigh of relief. She packed her things and got off work.

The moment she walked out of the Moore Group’s main gate, before she could react, a large group of reporters came out of nowhere.

"May I ask Miss Moore if the rumors about you and your husband and cousin are true?"

"Other than being entangled with your cousin, do you have any other men outside?"

Alyssa was astounded.

Luckily Alyssa reacted quickly and covered her face.

She did not expect to be intercepted by the reporters.

Alyssa took out a mask and put it on in the chaos. She immediately looked up and said coldly, "Those are all rumors without evidence. I have nothing to say. I'm not a member of the entertainment industry

yet. I have no obligation to answer your question.”

A reporter very carefully grasped the key words in her words.

"Miss Moore, you just said 'you're not a member of the entertainment industry yet'. Are you saying that you're going to debut and become a celebrity in the entertainment industry in the future?"

Following that, the other reporters also started to deduce, "It's rumored that your husband might not be able to inherit the Lawrence Group for personal reasons, so you entered the entertainment industry to find a way out for yourself?"

"You've been involved in the trending search a few times before, is it also to create hype for yourself?"

"…” Alyssa was speechless again.

Alyssa was surrounded by reporters and could not get out at all.

Suddenly, a series of dense footsteps sounded. A group of security guards came over and chased away all the reporters.

Before Alyssa could react to what was going on, Henry suddenly appeared. He pulled her by the wrist and strode towards the parking lot.

When Alyssa thought of his hand touching Skylar's body, she felt disgusted and forcefully pulled his hand away.

Henry was stunned for a moment and then said to her patiently, "Alyssa, those reporters will catch up

at any time. Get in the car first. I will send you off first."

Alyssa hesitated for a moment and followed him into the car.

She did not dare to underestimate the fighting ability of entertainment reporters. She had to leave this place quickly and think about other things in the future.
